Spring 20 Day Reset Done!

I did it! I’m done with the 20 Day Spring Reset and onto learning how to maintain. I picked a brownie for my first post-reset indulgence. I’m sad to say that indulgence gave me heartburn. Pizza and other greasy foods have always been the culprit on my few occasions of heartburn so I was not expecting that!

If I want to continue these good eating habits I need to accept that at least 2 hours of every day is devoted to meal prep, cooking, and clean up. That’s a big commitment. Originally I thought I would be relieved when the 20 days were over but now that it’s over I’m not very excited. That heartburn may have a had something to do with it! I’m going to miss the full day meal plans and the accountability that came with it. I went ahead and signed up for the vegetarian reset starting June 14th. While I won’t follow it nearly as strictly as this one it will give me those breakfast & lunch meals I’m already missing.

Some things I noticed during the 20 days:

I don’t need many calories. Eating 1000 calories, healthy calories, left me full most days. I kept to at least 1200 but didn’t really need the snacks I added.

Almond milk is okay but coconut milk is awesome

My ability to focus for more than 30-60 minutes at a time has drastically increased

I have more energy but those 2 hours of meal preparation are taking a lot of it

Your body can tell you important things about yourself

If your body is yelling at you everyday you learn to stop listening to those important thing

If I want to make brownie cupcakes again I need to reduce the baking time by another 5-10 minutes 😉

I’m not quite sure yet what I’ll be doing for the next two weeks while I wait for the vegetarian reset recipes. So far I’ve pulled my favorites recipes from the 20 days but most of those are breakfast. I’m not sure 3 breakfast recipes a day are going to get me that healthy balance I need!
